LONDON, August 24, 2010 - sortingcodes.co.uk has increased the frequency of its updates to weekly,

reliable, informed bank sort codes

sortingcodes.co.uk only contains data from authoritative sources.

personnel, accounts and memberships departments. Customers have the option of
two methods of retrieving UK payments data, depending on their needs:

    1. Online - a web-based tool enabling users to look up bank sort codes

wasted time and money; something that organisations can ill afford in this
